Re: If an Akubra Fed IV isn't viable...

I second Bear's sentiments. I'm a big fan of the AdVintage Harrison and once the felt softens up it has what feels like a very screen accurate flop to it. But in terms of sheer durability, you can't beat the Fed. As with many things, it depends on what you want out of it. Keep in mind the Fed is not...

Mostly because the distressing has been done already and the imperfections lend a certain au...

As so which is most SA to LC, I don't have the expertise nor eye to know. To my knowledge the 1889 is the correct gun, not the 1890 that is also listed.
I'm no expert either, but I agree the 1889 seems more familiar.
